right-wing extremists have been responsible for 56 percent of domestic terrorist attacks and plots since in the U.S. the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing. 12 percent have been perpetrated by Islamic extremists.

Well, at least religionationalist terrorism in the US IS realising that the Constitution does kind of prohibit a theocratic system of government and that they WOULD have to go back to at least the Articles of Confederation if not the colonial era...that IS progress, of a sort, I guess.

In about the same manner as, erm, well-aged shiat gets upgraded to "worm castings fertilizer" after it's had squirming things eating it and shiatting it back out a few times, but it is progress of a sort...

/does actually wonder when the government will start treating the actual problem of homebrew pro-dominionist religionationalist terrorism seriously//the threat ain't from Abdul in the halal deli, it's more likely to be from Joe-Bob protesting the halal deli

The SPLC notes that Talbot's alleged plans resembled the 1984 armored car burglary and assassination of a Jewish radio host in Denver by a white nationalist group called The Order. The biggest difference between the two, the SPLC writes, is that "Talbot talked about some of his planned crimes on Facebook, the complaint says, while The Order committed murders, robbed armored cars, and carried out a number of other attacks."

Although if you wanted to get uncomfortably close to some FBI agents, recruiting some randoms on your domestic terrorist organization's Facebook page seems like a pretty good way to attract them.
